STEP 5 FOR ALL MODELS EXCEPT PDW8500. GO
TO STEP 5A FOR PDW8500.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Close and latch the door.
• Remove 2 screws securing the dishwasher to
the underside of the countertop and or sides.
Retain screws.
• Carefully pull dishwasher out from the cabi-
net enclosure, approximately 10", until door
springs are exposed.
• Remove the spring from the right
side of the unit first.
• Place the short hook of the new
spring in the cable end. Insert
the long hook into a notch on
the frame bracket.
• Make sure the cable has not
slipped off the pulley.
• Repeat the same procedure on the left side of
the unit. Both springs should be on the same
notch on the frame bracket as shown in
Figure 11.
TEST DOOR BALANCE
Always hold the dishwasher at the top when
opening the door. The dishwasher will tip
forward when the door is opened.
• Release door latch. Open and release the
door. If the door tends to drop when released,
increase spring tension. If the door tends to
close, decrease spring tension.
• When adjusting tension, both springs must be
set to the same position on the side brackets.
• Slide dishwasher back into the original position.
• Check that door springs do not contact water
line, fill hose, wiring or other components.
• Reinstall the original top or side mounting
screws.
• Turn on water and power.
Note: Increase or decrease
tension as shown. Adjust both
springs to the same tension
setting to correct balance.
Figure 11
Check to be sure the spring cable is routed correctly
before making spring adjustments. The cable is held in
place by “shoulders” on the pulley. See Figure 11. Check
to be sure the cable has not slipped over the pulley
shoulder and onto the axle.
